How anyone could question the value of vaccines continues to baffle me. I highly recommend the book VAXXERS by the creators of the Oxford-AstraZenica COVID-19 vaccine, Sarah Gilbert & Catherine Green,in record time. Now they've developed Ebola vaccines. So proud to call them my Oxford colleagues.

The epitome of Trump greed and corruption. Canada paid entirely for this massive bridge to the US but he says this shows how disrespectful Canada is toward its American neighbours. He had just accepted a huge donation from the US owners of the rival tollbridge. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...

What should be a symbol of longstanding Canadian-U.S. ties now divides two once close allies.

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

Brexit will REDUCE food, wine and clothes costs by 20% - Rees-Mogg fires back at Remainers

Pls email the Ministry of Justice about this travesty. The rights of pregnant women prisoners subjected to inhuman & degrading treatment can't be vindicated under ECHR art 3 if they don't know of the investigation or have legal advice. levelup.movement-action.org/p/demand-jus...

I agree but would make an exception for those who are needed professionals in the NHS. Those MPs inject reality into the Commons whilst directly supporting our most important public service.

I honestly think banning MPs' second jobs is the single most powerful immediate thing the Govt could do to dent Reform support. It's the right thing to do. It would be a strong move (and message) in cleaning up politics. And it would shine a light on the person hit hardest: Nigel Farage.

NEW: A clinical trial led by Oxford researchers suggests that a single-dose rabies vaccine could provide safe, long-lasting protection in both adults and children. Rabies kills an estimated 59,000 people each year, mainly in Africa and Asia, with children at greatest risk ⬇️ #WorldImmunizationWeek

A young child sits on an adult’s lap while a healthcare worker wearing gloves administers a vaccine injection into the child’s upper arm. The adult supports the child, who looks down at their arm. Text below reads: “New rabies vaccine offers protection for adults and children with a single dose - ox.ac.uk/news | University of Oxford.”

A video’s been widely shared on social media with false claims it shows the Mayor of Rotherham calling for Sharia law and the expulsion of non-Muslims from Britain. But that’s not what she says in the clip, which is actually part of a Ramadan message.
